B. Nithianandan. B. A, LL. B. Immigration Law Consultant. E-mail: paramountvisa@gmail.com LAST CHANCE TO APPLY FOR TIER 1 VISA TO UK. It seems apparent to me that the Tier 1 Visa (General Migrant) will be discontinued shortly. This is my personal opinion and based on the observations made by UK Government officials in the last few weeks. The Tier 1 Visa to UK is a preferred Immigration option for professionals who meet the criteria. The key features that make it a desirable option are: 1. No employer sponsorship needed. An individual can apply without a job offer. 2. The ability to live and work anywhere in UK. 3. The spouse can live and work anywhere in UK. 4. Leads to Permanent Residence after 5 years. Tier 1 Visa is issued on a Points Based System. Points are awarded for an applicant’s Educational qualification, Age, Previous earnings (from 12 out of the 15 months preceding the application), UK experience (if any). In addition, all applicants must satisfy English Language requirements and the minimum prescribed funds at the time of submitting the application. ********************************************************************************************************
